Chop the olluco into julienne strips. If you want to try something new, you can also cut it into thin slices.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and aji panca paste, and sauté patiently. Take the time to allow the seasoning to cook thoroughly and the flavors to meld, until the mixture is golden brown and fragrant. Season with salt, pepper, and cumin to taste. To enhance the flavors, add AJI-NO-MOTO® and mix well.
When the dressing is ready, add the ground meat. Mix everything together and cook for a few minutes.
Then, once the meat is half cooked, add the chopped olluquito. Mix thoroughly and cook covered for 15 to 20 minutes, or until everything is done.
After that time, check if it's cooked and add a little water if you want a juicier consistency. Adjust the seasoning and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Remove from the heat.
Serve the olluquito with fluffy rice and garnish each portion with more chopped parsley.

You can add a sprig of parsley during cooking.
Another way to prepare olluquito is by first searing the meat in a hot pot with a little oil and then removing it before making the seasoning. Once the seasoning is ready, the meat is returned to the pot along with the chopped olluco to continue cooking.
